This week I\u2019m taking you inside one of my favorite places to speak \u2014 chapel at Christian High School. For over a decade now, I\u2019ve had the honor of pouring into these students twice a year, and every time I step on that stage, I don\u2019t take it lightly. When I was praying about the message for the start of 2026, one phrase kept coming to me: BURN THE BOATS! Not half-in. Not one foot on the dock. Not keeping an escape route \u201cjust in case.\u201d I\u2019m talking ALL-IN!! In this episode, you\u2019re going to hear the full chapel message where I challenge these students \u2014 and YOU \u2014 to stop playing small, no living lukewarm, and stop holding on to the very things that may be keeping you from walking in deep alignment of your divine calling. Whether you\u2019re 15 or 55, the principle is the same. God doesn\u2019t call part-time followers. He calls the committed. I share the powerful story of Cort\u00e9s in Year 1519 and what it really means to \u201cBurn the Boats.\u201d I talk about adversity, obedience, fear, surrender, and how the devil does his best work right before your biggest breakthrough. And I open up about building the new IMPACT-X Performance mothership \u2014 the mess, the chaos, the construction \u2014 and how sometimes when you\u2019re under construction, it doesn\u2019t look pretty\u2026 but that doesn\u2019t mean God isn\u2019t building something great. This message isn\u2019t soft. It\u2019s not comfortable. It\u2019s a wake-up call. And the question echoes throughout the entire talk: \u201cAre you ALL-IN\u2026 or are you ALL-OUT?\u201d What You\u2019ll Learn in This Episode: Why God doesn\u2019t call on part-time followers The real meaning behind \u201cBurn the Boats\u201d How to know if you\u2019re truly ALL IN The 6 boats you may need to burn Why adversity often precedes your biggest breakthrough How to fully surrender instead of drifting through your faith The truth about obedience, courage, and stepping into your divine calling At the end of the day, this episode is about surrender. You don\u2019t drift into surrender. You choose it. You choose obedience. You choose courage. You choose to burn the boats that are holding you back. Some of you are in the middle of construction right now. It\u2019s messy. It\u2019s loud. It\u2019s uncomfortable. You may be questioning what God is doing. But pressure doesn\u2019t destroy you \u2014 it prepares you for what\u2019s next. The breaking isn\u2019t punishment \u2014 it\u2019s training. And if you\u2019ll stay obedient, if you\u2019ll stay all in, what\u2019s being built will be greater than anything you can see in the middle of the mess. So here\u2019s my challenge: Don\u2019t wait. Don\u2019t delay. Don\u2019t keep an escape route. Burn the boats. Go all-in on your faith. Go all-in on your calling. Go all-in on the man or woman God created you to be. And go create IMPACT. I hope you enjoyed today\u2019s episode.
